About the shop

A collector, not a big-box retailer

Collector since grade school, eBayer since 2004. I've been around the hobby long enough to remember when my username (xswiggerx) actually looked cool—now it's just a vintage relic, much like some of the cards in my shop.

I'm a lifelong hobbyist, not a big-box retailer. I sell to fund my own 'Personal Collection' (PC) and treat every card I ship with the respect it deserves—sleeved, top-loaded, and secured. I don't ship every single day, but I do ship efficiently and honestly. I won't hide flaws, and I won't cancel an auction just because the final price was a steal.

Thanks for helping me keep the hobby alive!

Kyle, Pittsburgh PA

Packaging

How I ship

The same way I'd want my own PC cards to arrive.

Cards under $20

eBay Standard Envelope

  • Penny sleeve, then a semi-rigid Card Saver (no toploaders in this tier; they fail the envelope's flex and thickness rules).
  • Saver sealed in a team bag, mounted to a printed insert with removable glue dots so nothing shifts and no adhesive touches the holder.
  • Up to 4 cards per envelope, weighed at 3 oz or less. Orders with any $20+ card ship the tracked way instead.
  • Tracking updates only at sorting facilities, so gaps are normal. Covered up to $20 per envelope.

Cards $20 and up

Bubble mailer, USPS Ground Advantage

  • Bubble mailer with multiple layers of cardboard or plastic protection made for shipping trading cards.
  • Full tracking, uploaded to eBay when the label prints.
  • Slabs ship the same way today. Boxes for graded cards are on the roadmap.
  1. Out within 1 business day

    Paid orders leave within one business day.

  2. Combined shipping

    Buy multiple cards and I'll combine them into one package. Request a total before paying.

Want the exact procedure? It's written down: Standard Envelope SOP (PDF) and the mounting insert (PDF) that goes in every under-$20 order.
